This is a unique opportunity for all lovers of art and photography - have your portrait done by Maurizio Galimberti

The winner of this auction will have the opportunity to be photographed by the renowned international artist Maurizio Galimberti. He will use his famous mosaic technique, which decomposes and recomposes the image into a mosaic to recreate the same.

A photographer, an artist and an experimenter. He likes to call himself an "Instant Polaroid artist". Maurizio Galimberti's passion for photography started as a boy. He began with film and then, in the eighties, Polaroid took over. His impatience, his desire to immediately discover the result of a shot and his love for the colour and effect of this instant film, gave Maurizio a love for Polaroid. 

Maurizio Galimberti is a portrait artist. With his technique, he has produced portraits of singers, actors and ordinary people. Galimberti can, in an instant, display a complex composition of the image he is portraying. "A portrait can only take fifteen or twenty minutes. You can not disturb people for more time, like a mosquito that is going to sting."

Maurizio is inspired by the great photographers of the past and is still influenced by the photographic philosophy of Henry Cartier-Bresson. According to the photographer, who in his career has portrayed international stars such as Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Robert De Niro, Kate Winslet and Benicio Del Toro, the vintage style is not a fad, but a physiological way to negotiate the prepackaged world we live in today.
